Expert Bird Control and Proofing

Birds are a serious nuisance in public and private spaces, spreading diseases and causing costly damage to buildings. Derelict buildings, ledges, roof tops and signage provide the perfect roosting ground for pigeons, gulls and other pest species.

Bird droppings are not just unsightly - they corrode stonework and metalwork, create slip hazards, and harbour diseases and mites that pose a genuine health risk. Professional bird control is the only reliable way to protect your property long-term.

JG Pest Control provides a full range of bird proofing solutions tailored to your property and the species involved. Family-run since 2010, we bring 15+ years of experience and RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified and trainee techs to every job.

Removing Bird Nests and Guano Cleaning

Laws and regulations restrict the times of year when bird nests may be removed. It is illegal to remove gulls' nests once we are in gull nesting season, for example. If you are unsure about whether a nest can be removed, contact The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Specialist licensing is required to remove a nest, so call JG Pest Control to find out more about your options.

Bird guano (droppings) can contain diseases and other pests, such as mites, so it is strongly advised against cleaning bird-infested areas yourself. A professional bird control team is certified and equipped to do the work quickly, effectively, and safely.

There is no single way of getting rid of birds and it will often take a combination of methods to get the desired results. DIY bird control is not recommended due to the diseases associated with certain species. The best option is to call bird control professionals to review your requirements and advise on the best form of removal and deterrent.

Bird Proofing Options

Sometimes the best way to reduce bird numbers in an area is to use rifles or destroy nesting areas. To eradicate the impact of birds fully, however, these methods should be used in conjunction with proofing and bird of prey control.
